Loyalty and Secrets

You and I have always had

Attraction no denying

Right from the start

I felt your heart

You said, "No sense in lying"

Your wife is my best friend, Taurus

No rabbit hole for me

Protect your mate

For heaven's sake

Our love it just can't be

Parallel Universes?
Imagine what would happen if there were parallel universes? What would happen if you met your alternate self? New creativity for a new year!

The Mirror The Bridge

Parallel means constantly beside at a consistent distance unless you have a mirror. Right beside you all of your life there has been your parallel universe. Parallel universe implies double the hugeness. Considering a parallel universe encourages the mind boggling notion there is plenty of space. If a mirror is correct, you have a twin. Another world exists as yours does, having exactly the same considerations, feelings and experiences.

Is the mirror wrong? Does my reflection have the same car?

Why is it somehow intimidating to look at yourself eye to eye in the mirror? The other side is just like you in its own world and it is awkward for you both to realize that. I'm going to go to the mirror and say, "Hello." We are all guaranteed at least one friend or the mirror could be reminding us how much we do not like ourselves and that now there are two of us in the universe with a negative energy!

What happens when a disco ball is around! OMG!

Brown Eyed Girl

There is more than one way to lose someone. For instance, gradually over time their behavior changes until they ultimately leave you, the person who would lay their own life down for them. I think this type of loss is the most painful. It is not like sudden death or a natural expected loss. What is worse, they are still alive making it their priority to avoid you (sucker punch #2).

This happened to me and I have never "come back." You never do. You cannot control the pain at Christmas or birthdays. Periodically you still cry like you did when it became a reality. The rejection sits inside you coddling with self doubt, taking up "happy space" in your heart. You become grateful for the days you are happy, pushing back the loss into short term "forget" until that song plays on the radio.

You live in fear of hearing that they have passed which would end all hope of holding them again. There is no way you can stop loving them. Nope, no coming back from this, there is nothing one can do but pray.

Not what we need right now

This sucks so bad my vacuum cleaner is jealous.

Is a matter of fact, lawyer up. I have been traumatized.

Best advice, go to sleep and dream about being published. It is the only way.

Use this submission for kindling, then it will be worth something!

You may consider submitting to "Shit Magazine."

Please send any future submissions in a green envelope.

Challenge
Editing
Being told to edit your work seems to be an extremely bitter pill for writers to swallow. Do you go back and edit your work? Why or why not? Does it make a difference of someone else suggests edits? Why does that hurt?

Trust the Editor

If someone criticizes your work, you are blessed. Most writers trust their critics. Editors are why the literary world rotates! My mom was in awe of my thoughts and in disgust of how I expressed them. When we worked together, I won awards.

Play Fair

As my world burned, the image of his narcissistic figure swirled through the cinders and smoke of what used to be my home. Trey ignored his cell phone and watched the blaze from the shadows. He could not imagine I was thirsty to fuck his world up if he messed with mine.

Cancel Culture
What's your honest opinion about it?

Poor Little Tittie Babies

If you do not go along with the narrative, you are ousted. Anyone who supports you is also ousted. Cancel Culture intimidates and blackmails you by holding your livelihood hostage. Sometimes your social life is held hostage. Sometimes your legal situation is held hostage. Cancel Culture attempts to squelch free speech by causing people who would ordinarily say what they think to keep silent (the blackmail: If you speak out against their thoughts, you lose your job or you're out of the club or you will be attacked).

Cancel Culture is evil, hostile, rude and fueled by the insatiable urge to control. Tyrants, Communists and general idiots practice Cancel Culture. They cannot have what they think questioned! Poor little tittie babies.

My opinion is clear. Cancel Culture is what assholes participate in.

Intimidation
Currently I am dealing with intimidation. How do you deal with it?

Man or Mouse?

This is a test of how much courage you have. Hold your head up, display good posture and carry on as usual. An intimidator feels threatened by you. He/She will eventually stop the behavior or get even more aggressive which is where they make their most critical mistakes. You may have to bring out the "mama bear." It is difficult to do for us mild natured people. As the country song goes, "Sometimes you got to fight to be a man."
